German, Scandinavian, Dutch B.A.

• Study abroad course (requires prior approval from the Director of Undergraduate Studies)

Any DTCH 3xxx, FIN 3xxx, GER 3xxx, GER 5xxx, SCAN 3xxx, or its cross-list may count towards this requirement. Up to one elective may be taken outside of the GSD department, but must be pre-approved by the department's director of undergraduate studies.

For the capstone, students write a substantial paper that relies on primary or secondary resources in German, Dutch, a Scandinavian language, or Finnish. Students who double major within CLA and choose to complete the capstone requirement in their other CLA major may waive the German, Scandinavian and Dutch BA capstone, but they do need to replace the 3 credits with another DUS-approved upper division elective that includes substantial writing. Talk to the DUS for more information.

Students are required to take one upper division writing intensive course within the major. If that requirement has not been satisfied within the core major requirements, students must choose one course from the following list. Some of these courses may also fulfill other major requirements.

These courses, or equivalent, must be taken in sequential order. In select cases, students with advanced proficiency may be exempt from taking some or all of these courses. See the departmental advisor for more information.
